Sunday night it started snowing and there were still a couple of inches of snow on the ground on Monday and very cold. John set off straight away (falling promptly on his bottom on the ice just outside our front door!!) to try and grit and chip away at the ice to make it possible for the removal van to get to our new house. It is very difficult access on a dirt road with some steep slopes and massive big potholes. Thankfully after the guys had loaded the van the sun had helped with melting some of the ice and the first load could be off loaded. 4 loads later and we were finally in the house.
Tikka and Keema has slowly settled and yesterday William had his first day at his new school and really liked it. Unfortunately the heating system has broken in the house so we are very cold. The AGA in the kitchen helps a bit and we have used odd pieces of wood that we thankfully brought with us from our old house as fuel for the cast iron stove in the snug so we are surviving! The plumber is coming today to sort the heating out.
Everything is in a huge mess at the moment, but when I've finished unpacking and we have arranged for Internet at the house, I'll post some pictures.

Kan just tänka mig John drutta på ändan. Har du läst boken Röksvampen av Fay Weldon? Där är det också ett par som flyttar ut på landet, hi hi.
Läs den, du kommer att skratta. Den heter "Puffball" i original.
Väntar med spänning på fler nyheter och bilder.
I'm glad to hear that all went well! It must be very exciting to start a new home... Your "old" home was so nice, so I'm very curious. Looking forward to the pictures!
Hug to William...
